> The discussions will resume after the summer, once the new Parliament is seated and Hungary assumes the Council presidency from Belgium in July. Hungary has already committed to developing a comprehensive legislative framework to prevent and combat online child sexual abuse and revising the directive against the sexual exploitation of children.
Such as? Does it have anything to do with what "Chat Control" is about? What does Hungary have anything to do with it?
- thririrn 2y agoHungary is set to fight child grooming and exploitation, that is centralised in a few organisations. Very opposite from global dragnet surveillance to "protect children". And as post soviet country, they are very strict about privacy laws, and protecting civil rights!
- SkyMarshal 2y agoHungary currently seems pro-Russian and pro-authoritarian/strongman. Will they really be strict about protecting civil and privacy rights?
- redeeman 2y agowouldnt trust ANY government, but nothing to indicate they are in any way worse than the current ones, which did after all come up with the abomination that is chat control
- CAP_NET_ADMIN 2y agoI think it lacks /s at the end.
- Macha 2y agoIt's probably worth reflecting on some of the things Hungary considers to be child grooming and exploitation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_anti-LGBT_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_anti-LGBT_law
- Paradigma11 2y ago"Hungary is set to fight child grooming and exploitation, that is centralised in a few organisations." Hungary is going after the catholic church?
- skilled 2y agoChat Control is the main proposal, the following paragraph clearly says that they have until 2026 to agree on what that proposal is going to look like. Hungary has already said that it has plans to continue negotiations. This outrage is about forceful E2EE monitoring and not letting EU users to view links or images unless they agree to the said monitoring. What happened today puts an end to that for the time being, but it is unlikely to come back. Check out this: https://chatcontrol.eu/ https://chatcontrol.eu/
- etiam 2y agoI think you may have meant to say 'overwhelmingly likely to come back' or maybe 'extremely unlikely to stay ended'.
- ranger_danger 2y agoNot everyone thinks humanity is so far gone. Many believe it will never pass.
- johnisgood 2y ago> Hungary has already said that it has plans to continue negotiations. But at the same time Hungary loathes the EU. If anything, they are doing it for the money, no?
- johannes1234321 2y ago> What does Hungary have anything to do with it? Presidency over the EU council rotates every half year. The presidency sets the agenda. In July Hungary will take over. Hungary, with a less democratic government is interested in control infrastructure, thus likely to push such an initiative.
